The Jamie Lloyd Company’s critically acclaimed, Olivier Award-winning production of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac, freely adapted by Martin Crimp, directed by Jamie Lloyd, and starring James McAvoy opens on Friday March 18 and runs until Saturday March 26.
This follows a successful run at The Harold Pinter Theatre in London, before visiting Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) in New York in April.
General booking for the highly anticipated show opened in November and has already sold out the 1,500-seater venue across nine performances.
James Haworth, Theatre Director at Theatre Royal, said: “I’m so pleased that the Rush ticket initiative from The Jamie Lloyd Company has been made available for the run of Cyrano de Bergerac in Glasgow.
"Rush has already been hugely popular in London and I cordially invite those who are eligible to take advantage to book and enjoy this prestigious production at an accessible price.”
Other stars in the cast include Michele Austin as Ragueneau, Adam Best as Le Bret and Sophie Mercell as Marie-Louise.
With set and costume design by Soutra Gilmour, and lighting design by Jon Clark, this show is set to light up Glasgow's Theatre Royal this March.
Normal tickets can be puchased on the ATG website here.
